Basketball?

I was one of the fortunate few who watched the Blue-White game for the basketball team at BJC yesterday, and I have a few observations.

-By the middle of the second half, I found myself yelling "Stop IT!!!" at Mike Walker.  What a player.  He was NAILING 3s left, right, and center.  He was 9-16 from behind the arc and scored 33 poonts, and that was with Morrissey, hardly a sloch, guarding him.  Do I expect him to go off like that all season?  No, but If he can do anything close to to that in a few big games, thats huge for us.

-Claxton looked really good, but hes still forces things that perhaps he shouldn't.  Maybe in the past its been because he hasn't had the weapons aroun him to bail us out, but with the development of Walker and Morrissey, I hope that when we get down by 5-7 points, he doesn't start forcing things because he feels like we need him to carry us.

-Solid performances from Morrissey and Hassell.  Hassell is going to be key for us this year.  If he can become a dependable guy inside, we'll be OK.

-Talor Battle impressed me for a freshman.  I'm not exactly sure how I feel about him leading the team from the point at Michigan St., but he has the potential to be a good player for us.  I was also impressed with Freshman Andrew Jones.  He looked really good.  

-Not impressed with Stan Pringle.

-This is probably preseason dreaming, but I think we can have a pretty good squad this year.  NCAA Tournament isn't out of the question I don't think.
